you would love this area near where I live called Apple Hill. There are all kinds of orchards and ranches and you can get caramel apples and fritters and other apple treats and there are craft booths and vendors and pumpkins and face painting and ponds and picnic tables and vineyards turning colors and homemade fudge and pony rides and hot apple cider and trees so overladen with fruit that they hang toward the ground.

it is seriously lovely. i like to wait until it truly feels like fall before i make my fist visit.
